    Sorry to hear you have arthritis too. I think there should be a one disease to a person rule. I like the glass of wine for a sting. I usually stick myself and fall into bed. Kathy

    Thanks for all of the replies. When it is at it's worst I can only walk a few feet and then I have to sit down. When I go out to run errands and I have to park way out I just want to cry because it is going to take everything I have to make it inside the store and then I have to hang on my...

    Hi, I have been on Humira for four years and was wondering if anyone had symptoms of severe muscle weakness and fatigue from this drug. My doc seems to think it is from the Humira. Kate

    Beef in a blender

    I am not sure what you mean by minced meat. Maybe someone can explain this to me . Is it what we refer to as ground beef? I tried it last night and I am feeling fine this morning. My only problem with it is the texture. Kind of weird. I had to use a small can of beef broth to even get a pasty...

    Beef in a blender

    I haven't tried boiling cow bones yet. Is there a lot of nutritional value in the broth. I am trying to get more iron in my diet thats why I am thing about a meat gravy with the beef. Kathy

    Beef in a blender

    I have eaten Bison but I don't know if that is considered game meat since it is raised on farms. For me wild game meat flavor is to strong. I haven't been able to get used to it. I am not using a regular blender but one that is a lot more powerful. I think I can, with the help of a little...

    I use a Solgar brand called Gentle Iron. It is 25 MG of Iron Bisglycinate. Non-Constipating. Gluten, wheat and dairy free. You take one capsule a day with a meal. I got mine at the Vitamin Shoppe. If you don't have one in your town they have a web site. Kathy

    Beef in a blender

    Has anybody tried blending beef so it would be easier to digest? I saw online that people do this to make baby food. It suggested that you cook the lean (ground sirloin) and then blend it. I thought I would put a little beef broth and some salt and pepper in it and make a kind of thick gravy out...

    I loved the simulator pen. It gets you used to the loud click so you don't jump and pull the needle out. After being on Humira for four years I still have fatigue and muscle weakness. I take B-12, the one you put under your tongue for faster absorption. And some other supplements for energy. I...

    Doug, the extra pen is nice. They must not have single dose packaging. My surgery's were in 2008. I had three in one year. Yikes! Kathy

    Humira has not stopped me from having diarrhea. I think it must be stress. Right now my Doc has me on Entocort ( I take the generic Budesonide ) for two months. I did something so stupid with my Humira pen once. I set it out to warm up a little before my shot and forgot it and went to bed. I...

    I feel your pain, ( really ) the loading doses are the worst. Remember ice is your friend and numb your skin good. After I get a shot I just lie still for 10 minutes if I can. It can sting for a little while after. Someone had a good idea that I read. They do it right before bed so they can lay...

    Hi, I have been taking Humira for about 4 years. Got diagnosed in 2008 when I had to be rushed in for surgery. I think the thighs hurt way more. I break out in a sweat if I even think about using the thighs. I am so afraid of this drug that I asked my Doc if I could stop taking it. He said NO...
